Chapter 746: Chain Reaction (2)
Obviously, the European Union is looking at China's situation, and the United States must have no time to take care of Europe, so it suddenly protested at this time, Europe's influence in Africa is much greater than that of the United States, for example, France, several islands around Madagascar are French territories, if France wants, it is much stronger than the United States to build a base here, and maybe France, Germany, Russia, and the United States can not care, but the influence of these countries in Africa can make the countries around South Africa protest.
As the largest country in Africa, South Africa is very concerned about its prestige in Africa, and South Africa has been trying to unite African countries, so it is impossible for South Africa not to consider the feelings of these African countries, which is also the reason why the United States has been trying to build a base in Africa without success.
Although no concrete agreement has yet been reached, the United States and South Africa have basically entered the stage of negotiations, but now if the entire EU countries unite to protest, it is still unknown whether this matter will be negotiated. "I know." Obama nodded and said that he knew about the matter, and that the base in Africa was not in a hurry, and although there were external factors whether it could be built, it also depended on the subjective will of the United States itself.
If the United States wants to build itself, although these external conditions have an impact, they cannot become the most critical influence, and Obama does not care much about this matter, and now what we have to consider is how much impact the completion of China's aircraft carrier will have on the United States, and whether the speed of aircraft carrier construction in the United States should be accelerated.
"Do you have any suggestions?" After everyone discussed it for a while, Obama looked left and right at everyone and spoke.
"President, I think we're going to speed up the construction of our aircraft carriers. Although we have been making preparations, but the Nimitz class is now unable to confront China, although we have a numerical advantage for a while, but if we do not speed up the construction of the Ford-class, China's aircraft carrier has been launched and handed over to the navy, if they speed up the training, at most one year can form combat effectiveness, although we do not know for the time being how the aircraft carrier is configured, but even according to the Ford-class, there is still a gap with the Nimitz-class. One of the admirals thought for a moment and spoke.
It is not difficult to speed up construction. Because now the Ford-class is being built one by one, if you want, there is no problem in building twenty ships at once with the strong industrial capacity of the United States, and the United States has enough docks, but in this way. Undoubtedly, it will occupy a lot of military funds, and these shipbuilding companies in the United States cannot directly advance funds for construction like the Starfall Group. And they can't afford it either.
"President. I think what General Dowken said is very reasonable, and I think we can delay the service time of the Nimitz class, and at the same time we build the Ford class, we can delay the service time of the Nimitz, so that some secondary positions will be handed over to Nimitz for defense, and all of them will be deployed as Ford-class in the Asia-Pacific region. And if the deferment of service is putting a strain on our finances, I have another suggestion. "Another four-star admiral of the Navy, Howes. Dame spoke.
"Say." Everybody's eyes turned to House, "Actually, I think that although we have been suppressing China's development, we can erect some enemies for them in the Asia-Pacific region." Although we have been doing this, none of those countries can limit China's development, and now the contradictions between Japan and China are not to be discussed, I think if we remove part of the technology on the Nimitz aircraft carrier, we can sell the Nimitz class. "House made an amazing suggestion.
As soon as House's suggestion came out, it immediately caused a commotion in the venue, selling Nimitz? No one has ever thought about this suggestion, "How many technical reserves we have should know, the Ford class is an all-round lead for the Nimitz, as long as we dismantle the key radar and some confidential parts, the Nimitz class can be sold, such as selling to Japan, Japan is now trying to build its own aircraft carrier, although it is said to be a light aircraft carrier, but this has proved that Japan has ambitions in this regard, and it is nothing to sell to them, right?" And it can also contain China. House began.
Although some people want to refute House's suggestion, but these people hesitated for a moment and did not speak, what House said, but it is also correct, the relationship between Japan and China is much worse than the relationship between the United States and China, and although it is said that there is a security treaty between the United States and Japan, but this security treaty, to paraphrase a sentence on the Internet, the final interpretation is here in the United States, and if there is a conflict between China and Japan, the United States can participate, and it is okay not to participate.
And besides Japan, there is another country, and those small countries in South Asia are not counted, and there is not India? The relationship between India and China is not so good, there are also contradictions between the two sides, it is completely possible to sell aircraft carriers to India, and with India's strength and position, there is no need to worry about becoming a threat to the United States, and more importantly, India is completely the kind of person who is stupid and does not have much money, but likes to rush to the big head.
I don't see that India has always wanted to get its own aircraft carriers, and it is also preparing to produce nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers, etc., so if the United States is willing, Japan is definitely willing. And although it is said that the Nimitz class is ready to be retired, but in fact, it is far from reaching the service life, as long as it takes more than half a year to return to the factory, there will be no problem if the core of the nuclear reactor is replaced, and the Kitty Hawk has been in service for many years. So even for twenty years of service, India is definitely willing to buy it.
And it also solves the burden of the US government itself, these aircraft carriers stay in the US mainland requires the US government to spend a lot of money to dismantle them into scrap iron, and there is no other use, if they are sold now, they can be sold for at least two billion dollars, right? Two billion dollars is not a small number, and if three are sold, a new Ford-class will be built.
"This needs to be discussed and approved by Congress and the relevant departments, but it can be used as an alternative case, and it is clear that the Chinese government and the Madagascar government should have reached an agreement, and the Chinese government will build a military base in Madagascar, so our military base here in South Africa is very necessary. When this is over, I will personally talk to the president of South Africa, and now if you think we need to speed up the construction of the Ford-class, then come up with a plan for me, I need to submit it to Parliament, and there is also the situation in Europe, I hope you will not take it lightly. Obama thought for a moment and said.
When the United States held a meeting, other countries were almost all holding similar meetings, and China was not completely without friends in the world, although China's friends were relatively weak, such as Pakistan, as well as African countries, which were a wide range of countries in the third world, China's strength has been increasing, which will make these countries more and more confident in China, and these countries will naturally dare to oppose the United States.
And among these countries, the countries around China are nothing more than the most tense, Japan will not talk about it, anyway, the relationship between the two countries is like that, broken jars, broken jars, but there is a US-Japan security treaty, so Japan is not nervous, not to mention, Japan actually doesn't care about these now, the whole country is in chaos, dozens of high-ranking officials have been assassinated, if you don't find an excuse for the people, the whole country will be completely turbulent.
What's more, this incident coincided with a period when Japan's economy was in a period of collapse, which led to all kinds of demonstrations throughout Japan during this time, and even many Japanese people stormed the US consulate, and some even attacked American businessmen in Japan, which made the already dwarfed Self-Defense Forces even more nervous, and now some small cities have even directly begun to enforce curfews, and even Tokyo has begun to prepare for the implementation of curfews.
The U.S. government has issued a government announcement in its own country to be careful when traveling to Japan, although Japan and the United States are trying to redeem the contradictions between the two sides, but during this period of time, there are still many Americans who have had accidents in Japan, some of them were done by those angry young people in Japan, and some of them were sent by Nogami Tetsukuma, and Nogami Tetsukuma's current strength in Japan naturally knows the details of the whole thing, so he naturally knows what the fire fox and others have done.
Although I don't know how the fire fox and others did it, but everything was naturally planted on the head of the United States, and Nogami Tetsukuma didn't mind making the contradiction between the United States and Japan a little bigger, Nogami Tetsukuma didn't think about it so much now, he had already seen it, from the moment he didn't refute Yang Yiwei, he was like this in his life, in one sentence, he had already stepped into hell, and he was with the demon king, and now it's too late to quit, so he simply let go.
At this time, everyone knows that don't underestimate what happens in the people, sometimes the things caused by small things may have a great impact, especially in a country like the United States, which attaches great importance to the lives and safety of its citizens, and these things are more likely to cause contradictions between the two countries, so during this time, they simply ordered Firefox and others to kill more than a dozen Americans, and when they were killed, their injuries were like they were killed by many people.
Once anything rises to the level of a mass incident, it's not that simple. (To be continued......)
